Exotic Bailey-Slater SPT-Functions I: Group A

Number Theory 2014-11-14 v3

Abstract

We introduce several spt-type functions that arise from Bailey pairs. We prove simple Ramanujan type congruences for these functions which can be explained by a spt-crank-type function. The spt-crank-type functions are constructed by adding an extra variable zz into the generating functions. We find dissections when zz is a certain root of unity, as has been done for many rank and crank difference formulas of various partition type objects. Our formulas require an identity of Chan on generalized Lambert series.
